A Conroe man found guilty on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of sexual assault of a child was sentenced to 60 years, 20 years for each charge, in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on May 1.

Lewis Donald Richardson Jr., 35, of Conroe was arrested by the Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable's Office in the Magnolia Bend subdivision on Oct. 4, 2017.

According to Montgomery County Constable's Pct. 2 Investigator Greg Thomason, Richardson was arrested and initially charged with two counts of indecency with a child, one count of continuous aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography.

Upon investigation, officers found five video files and twenty-one image files of possible child pornography on the laptop computer that had been stored therein as backup files from the cellular telephone, according to court documents.

"Officers determined the victim in the videos was the same male at the house when a search warrant was executed at the residence," court documents stated.

The sexual abuse of the victim began when he was 14 years old and continued until he was 16 years old.

In exchange for a plea deal, Richardson was found guilty on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of sexual assault of a child giving him 20 years for each count to be served concurrently in Judge Patty Maginnis' 435th District Court.

"The Montgomery Internet Crimes Against Children is serious about protecting the children of Montgomery County and work feverishly to do so," precinct 2 stated. "This is a huge conviction and Precinct 2 are very proud of Investigator Thomason and his dedication to protecting our children."
